Letter from R.H. Elliot

Several people have mentioned that they did not receive the June 22, 2009 letter regarding changes to the waste management program in Lac Le Jeune so I have copied it below. As already mentioned in earlier posts, there are many reasons to oppose this new program. If you are also opposed, please write that letter as soon as possible! To date we have not heard from anybody in our community who is in favour of curbside garbage collection.

Dear Electoral Area "J" (Copper Desert Country) Residents:

REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE WASTE MANAGEMENT:
all big words, all words that create nightmares

For this Regional Director it has been an effort to accomplish the goals set out by the Board and by the meetings that I have attended to listen to the people. Therefore I have set in motion some changes to the PLAN.

Copper Desert Country Area "J" constituents will have door to door pick up of garbage and recyclables starting July 2009 for Savona and Cherry Creek. Further, Paska Lake, Face Lake and Lac le Jeune will have changes in their waste collection system but these will not happen until the late fall, more news on this when we get our new truck. Tranquille Valley will continue with their container for now with changes being investigated that will best match the communities needs. More news to come on this later.

Contracts have been worked out with the Savona Improvement District for Cherry Creek and Savona. Please watch your mailbox for further details from the TNRD explaining collection times, what can be recycled and what cannot. Payment for this new service will be on the taxes.

No tipping fees, no gas to travel, curb side service for garbage and recycling:


Win Win

Yours truly,

Director Ronaye H. Elliott Electoral
Area "J" (Copper Desert Country)
